IMPROVED MOVABLB manet-STAND.

TO ALL .WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, P. J'. SKINNER, of Oswego, Ain the county of Oswego, and State of New York, have invented a new and improved Movable Barrel-Stand; and Ido hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled inthe art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming pai-tof this specification.

The'drawing represents a central longitudinal section through the stand.

This invention, as its name imports, is -a movable barrel-stand, for use in groceries or liquor-stores, where many barrels -areemployed and set in rows. t

A is, the barrel, placed on the checks e in' the usual manner. These checks rest upon and are fastened to the upper surfaces of the main blocks C, which are secured side by side by means of bolster-blocks E E let into the blocks C and bolted thereto. Rollers D, composed each of a solid cylinder of wood, having reduced ends to serve as axles of revolution. These ends find bearings in the under side of the blocks C, and are held in .place by a plate, d, as shown dotted in the drawing. An upright, B, having notches m, is hinged, as shown at z', to the rear part of the stand. This device is for holding the barrel at' any desired. angle without the danger of shaking up `and disturbing the sediment of its contents. 'l

' This movable stand willbe found useful in liquor and grocery-stores, and permits the withdrawal and replacing of one or more barrels without disturbing the adjacent barrels not desired to be moved. 'It is simple and cheap, and causes arow of barrels, when mounted on such stands, to present an even, attractive appearance.

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent` v The combination of the barrel-stand with the rollers D and upright B, as. and for the purpose specified. i
